Rahul Dravid: The Wall......When you think about Cricket as Gentlemen's game, there're very few names that cross your mind, and Rahul Dravid is definately one of them. A Champion Cricketer, Perfect Team man and truly a Gentleman. So, when Disney and ESPN cricinfo decided to come up with a book, they chose "Timeless Steel" as the title of that book. And when I came to know about this book, there wasn't a second thought In ordering this book even before it's release. 

This book gives his clear picture on being the most evolved cricketer in this era. RAHUL DRAVID - TIMELESS STEEL clears all your doubt if you hesitate to call him The Greatest Test Cricketer. Read this book to know how THE WALL acquired greatness, what’s Rahul Dravid's style of answering the critics, why is he referred as A Gentleman champion of timeless steel and dignity? 

The book is a collection of 30 pieces, which is written by people who have either played with him or know him for a long time. Some of the names include Greg Chappel, Sanjay Manjrekar, Sanjay Bangar, Suresh Raina, Aakash Chopra, Ed Smith, John Wright, Sambit Baland of course Vijeeta Dravid. The book also gives insight of some of his best knocks in Adelaide, Jamaica, Kolkata, Rawalpindi, Nottingham etc. It also includes Rahul Dravid's Bradman Oration Speech in Canberra 2011, which itself is worth owning as a piece of cricketing literature.

Timeless Steel is as much a celebration of a colossal cricketer as it is of an exceptional human being. It attempts to paint a picture of a cricketer who embodied the best traditions and values of the game, and a man who impressed many people who came in contact with him. It is a salute to Indian Cricket's go-to man.

If Batman was whatever Gotham needed him to be, Rahul Dravid was whatever Indian Cricket Team needed him to be.
